About Us

Our manufacturing plant, main offices and warehouse are in a 52,000 square foot facility in Fort Worth, Texas. Additional distribution warehouses, customer service and sales offices are in Dallas, Austin and most recently San Antonio. Tex-Air filters technicians install over 90,000 filters a month for various commercial customers. As a result there are few filtration situations we have not seen.

Tex-Air produces all of its pleated filters including MERV 6, MERV 7, MERV 8, Merv 10, Carbon and MERV 11 in one inch, two inch and four inch filter sizes. The company also specializes in producing metal filters for kitchens, fresh air intakes and other applications. In addition, we produce custom filters for machinery protection, construction, OEM, paint booth, computer protection and cellular phone switches.
